Thirty-six hours in Dallas afforded me the opportunity to visit YUMMY Donuts, a trendy donut shop mentioned to me by Jenny of Making a Foodie. As always, Jenny gave a great recommendation! Being in Dallas for such a short visit made it challenging to get everything done on my wish list. Dinner at Spiral Diner,…
Week #46, Dunkin Donuts, St. Joseph, MO
UPDATE: Dunkin Donuts in St. Joseph, Missouri closed its doors after nearly 40 years on December 27th, 2011. Instead of the usual numbered post title, I should have called this post “The Donut That Started It All.” I grew up in a small town in Northwest Missouri. We didn’t have a donut shop, not even…
Dunkin’ Donuts in KC
For KC Donut fans, just wanted to share this link with you: http://www.kansascity.com/business/story/1562009.html I ventured out to Dunkin’ Donuts in St. Joseph last week with Em and will write about it soon. Someone will have to tell me all about the new spot, since I don’t want to visit the same chain twice this year.
Week #45, Denny’s Donuts Normal/Bloomington, IL
I traveled to Normal, Illinois to participate in a scavenger hunt type race with friends. I asked all over town the day before the race for a donut shop recommendation and only one was ever mentioned, Denny’s Donuts. One lady told me there was no other place to get a donut, end of story. Off…
Week #44, On the Rise Bakery, Osage Beach, MO
This month has been full of celebrations in honor of my hubby’s milestone birthday. One of the celebrations included a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks for a few days at a friend’s lake house. Usually this time of year affords great fall foliage viewing at the lake. Instead, we were treated to several…
Week #43, Ingredient, Leawood, KS
Recently I had an early lunch with a girlfriend at Ingredient in Leawood. I’ve had lunch and dinner there several times but had never tried breakfast. I don’t think I was even aware they offered breakfast but for some reason, while ordering lunch their breakfast menu caught my eye. Donut holes with a wide variety…
Week #42, Dat Donut, Chicago, IL
Somewhere around 30 donut adventures ago, I tried to find a locally-owned, non-chain donut shop in Chicago. I failed. Dunkin’ Donuts appeared on every street corner and I couldn’t find a single donut worthy of an adventure. In the 8 months since, I have seen Dat Donut in Chicago mentioned in several lists of the…
Week #41, Carolyn’s Country Cousins Pumpkin Patch
On a cool, windy weekday, Em and I went to Carolyn’s Country Cousins Pumpkin Patch in Liberty, MO. I had heard at least a gazillion radio advertisements for the pumpkin patch and they all mentioned pumpkin donuts. The pumpkin patch is just a few miles from my house so no excuse to miss this donut…
Week #40, Louisburg Cider Mill
Every year in the Fall, I hear lots of advertising for the Louisburg Cider Mill’s Cider Fest. The news reporters often broadcast from there and lots of friends go every year. The chatter about cider donuts alone was enough to convince me to go! John and I went to the Louisburg Cider Mill on the…
Week #39, Fast Stop, Independence, MO
While driving through Independence on our way to the Santa-Cali-Gon Festival, we saw this sign at a convenience store. Misspelling aside, it looked like a place to visit on a donut adventure. John and I went back on a rainy weekday to check out the donuts. As we pulled into the parking lot, I noticed…
